Work To Be Done

Today I am very proud of my nation and excited for the future. In listening to President Obama give his inaugural address, I am struck by the wholly unsubtle difference between the 43rd and 44th presidents.

I have a leader now who talks without sniggering, who doesn't struggle to remember what he's supposed to say verses what he really thinks, one who's address is not a joke or a mockery of our people. I am also struck by the concern W. gives our children in comparison with the gratitude Obama gives our ancestors. How odd that looking back could actually be a way forward.

Read the two speeches side by side.
